January Yarn Along

 Had hoped to get this on last week, but had quite a few headache days, so catching up now...

January Yarn Along - I just checked, and it seems the January Yarn Along is not up on Ginny's blog yet, so will add the link when it's available.  Meanwhile...read on...

*******************

Update:  Ginny has decided to discontinue Yarn Along for this year, so I will not be doing any Yarn Along posts as such, but will continue to share my doings in my general posts :)

********************

I finished the crocheted blanket mentioned in last month's Yarn Along post, and also the knitted shawl I was working on before Christmas.  I'm now working on some baby blankets for charity...



They are only small 55cm x 55cm, so I should get a few done in the month...
they are for one of Knit4Charities January charities (the newborn intensive care unit of a large Sydney hospital)


I was running a bit low on pastel coloured yarn, but have now stocked up... :)




Yesterday I attended the wedding of a young couple from my church...



I gave them one of my crocheted blankets as a wedding gift...

and for the Bridal Shower the week before, which I was unable to attend, the guests were asked to bring a page (with recipes) for a recipe scrapbook.  I did Spaghetti Bolognaise and Apple Crumble, two of my oft used recipes.


Here is a photo of the guests arriving at the reception...



And the wedding party...


Last but not least, reading...



The One Year Chronological Bible, which (obviously), I will be reading all year :)

A New Day Rising (book 2 or 3 depending on whether you count the prequel) of the Red River of the North Series (my bedtime read)

And looking forward to starting A Chance to Die (my inspirational read)


And I haven't even mentioned all the garden work that needs to be done :))

a pretty evening primrose plant for the garden

  1. Your shawl looks great! And everything's arranged so nicely. :) A Chance to Die is an interesting title - I followed the link to see what it refers to, but am not sure. Maybe dying to oneself? Or will you have to read it to find out for sure?

    1. Yes, I believe the Amy Carmichael book refers to dying to self. I have read biographies about her before, and have had this one on my shelf for awhile (and started it once), so hope to read it all the way through this year. She also wrote poetry. Flame of God is one I like. xx
